Sorry for the delay. It didn't alert me that someone responded!! My Goal is 45/20/35 but it's normally 48-50 in carbs, 18-25 fat and 25-30 protein, depending on the day. I'm having a hard time eating my 1800 calories a day because my doc has me on a 20% fat diet with 7g of saturated fat & 1500mg of sodium a day! It's hard…

Well contestants from the Biggest Loser take 3-4 mths off to lose weight & workout up to 8hrs per day, so I don't think what you are doing is "crazy"! However, they are also under heavy medical supervision. Speak to your doctor about it and make sure to have regular check ups. You may also what to work with a chiropractor…

I do honestly believe that some of your depression is because you aren't eating enough. I've seen your diary & 800 calorie days aren't NEARLY enough food!! But if you don't have an appetite & things taste like metal, you definitely need to talk to a doctor. Let them know that BEYOND everything else, you are looking for…

^^^^THIS!!!! Please follow this advice. Eating is your fuel, your energy! You MUST eat more!!!

I eat that too minus the flax. I'll have to look into that.

No I have not considered that holleysings...I like meat! lol I would watch the show though to get some more information. I don't have a netflix account so I'll see what other way I can get it! Thanks!

Thanks Lucia. I'm sure there is a lot of textbook on it but I read that it is recommended for African Americans with a history of heart disease to get on a restricted diet. I'm just trying to reach my TDEE & right now, I'm eating about 1200-1300 because I don't want to go over my sodium. If I eat more, I go over on my…

Guess Not. Thanks anyway. :smile:

[/quote] Um... actually you can drink too much water... it's called water intoxication and it can be fatal http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Water_intoxication But you'd have to drink a hell of a lotta water to have that happen [/quote] ^^^^This was suppose to be a quote for someone. I don't know what happened to the box. You…

^^^This. It's not about how much you drink but how fast you drink it! As long as it is over a period of time to allow your kidneys to filter it, you are fine. Water Intoxication is very uncommon so you are fine.

You can create you own exercises that you don't find in the database. Go the "exercise" tab then click on "my exercises" & "create exercise".

Great Job!! You look great!!! :smile:

^^^Yes pls consider water! It is very important! Also try ginger, they help with inflammatory problems such as migraines (which is inflammation of the brain vessels). I use to make a ginger drink 3 times a day, 8oz of hot water, 2 tbsp of grated ginger juice, 1 tbsp of organic, raw honey. Another drink for migraines @ the…

^^I use to do this too until I read that 1.) Excedrin is really hard on your liver. & 2.) Taking over the counter meds longer than a week can cause what you are trying to prevent, in this case, headaches. I too am a migraine/headache sufferer & coming off Excedrin was HARD! My headaches were horrible!! I learned that I…

Yes they have the best "to go" sushi!! I also go their for my brown rice protein & acai berry smoothie packets! You need a day when you can just go browse around to find you stables! Have fun!!

JOINING!!! 1st I thought you were talking about 60 minutes @ once & I was going to delete you as a friend!! :laugh:

I use to be the person to try and get them to understand a different side to the story but it became to exhausting. Now, I just smile & nod! If you don't want to do it, don't! Then avoid that conversation all together. I've even had to stop telling certain people at work what I am doing b/c they were so far in my business.…

Are you apart of the group Eat More 2 Weigh Less?

^^^this! :smile:

WHAT IS THE ANSWER?!!! This is killing me!! LMBO!!

Dang, now were know why your name is AngryGuy. lol I can see how people can get sucked in but I thought he offered good enough information. I watched the episode on how to find energy throughout the day & it was a good. But I stopped watching the show because I thought I had everything he talked about!! Oh No, my poop…

Yes, it is good to become aware!! I didn't eat them!! I do have a cheat meal every week just not a 1500 calorie cheat meal! lol Even if it's fried, I try to max my cheat meal @ 700 but I mainly stay around 600. (A mexican pizza @ Taco Bell is 600 calories! :wink: )

^^Agreed! You are suppose to eat smaller meals throughout the day to reach your max calorie goal, not eat them all in 1 setting!

A lot of restaurants have great meals under 600. Ex./ Ruby Tuesday, Applebees, Fridays. I always look up the menu & pre-log before I go so I know what to eat & what to avoid!

Absolutely Not!! I would be so hungry on a 1200 calorie diet!! I average 1550 a day. Working my way up to 1907 & adding heavier weights!

This wasn't about whether it was difficult or not but realizing how many calories were in foods that you didn't think about before. Obviously I will either find a new solution or work it into my totals! But at 1034 for 6 wings, it isn't likely this will be added to my diary anytime soon if ever!!

I know!! Can you believe we ate that much?!! Or I would just eat that meal & nothing else for the day! Now I know why I was sick all the time!! I will indulge was well but instead of 6 wings @ 1034 calories, I'll just eat 2 & a big salad w/ a vinaigrette dressing. Or learn to make baked ones @ home!! :wink:
